The purpose of this paper is to compare a collection of control variates for Monte Carlo-valuation of spread options on three assets with a view towards energy markets and to lay a foundation for continued research on control variates, e.g. combinations of control variates and adaption for quasi-Monte Carlo. The paper builds upon previous research on option pricing using Monte Carlo-simulation and

Under 1990-talet och fram till 2007 var det vanligt förekommande att byggnader uppfördes med en så kallad enstegstätad fasadkonstruktion. Det byggdes omkring 15 000 – 30 000 bostadshus med denna konstruktion, vilka omfattar 110 000 – 160 000 bostäder. Ett stort antal av byggnaderna uppförda med den aktuella fasadkonstruktionen fick fukt- och mögelskador redan efter några år. År 2007 uppmärksammaDuring the 1990s and up until 2007, it was common that buildings were erected with a construction method known as External Thermal Insulation Composite System Walls. Around 15 000 – 30 000 residential buildings were built using this method and these constitute 110 000 – 160 000 residences. A large number of the buildings constructed with the this method got damp and mold damage after only a few y

Eftersom folkrätten är ett högaktuellt rättsområde idag, är det lätt att tro att det också är en modern produkt, ett resultat av nutidens accelererande globalisering. Så är dock inte fallet, utan folkrätten har i högsta grad en rättshistorisk sida som bör beaktas. Denna uppsats undersöker hur Hugo Grotius och Emer de Vattel behandlade de centrala folkrättsliga begreppen stat och suveränitet, och Since public international law is a current area of law today, we may think that it is also a modern product, a result of today’s globalized world. However, that is not the case. Public international law has important historical aspects that must be considered. This paper examines in what way Hugo Grotius and Emer de Vattel treated two of the key concepts of public international law, state and so

The Nuremberg Charter introduced the crime of aggression into international law. The American Chief Prosecutor Justice Robert Jackson gave a famous promise that offenders who commit acts of aggression shall be prosecuted and international criminal law would be applied against them. However, only at the first Review Conference of the ICC Statute in Kampala 2010, agreement on a universally accepted

The aim of the project was to investigate and evaluate different extraction methods for detection of human DNA in environmental crime scene samples containing soil. Soil is a complex and heterogeneous material consisting of several inhibitory compounds, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from such samples. The investigation included the evaluation of 19 different extraction methods based on s

This thesis deals with the significance of institutional structures and their outcomes when combating corruption. It investigates Rwanda's outstanding progress in implementing anti-corruption policies and building strong institutions to fight corruption.

A critical stage for the construction of steel-concrete composite bridges occurs during casting of the bridge deck, when the wet concrete has still not hardened. The entire construction load is then taken by the non-composite steel sections. Bracing may be needed to make the slender girders rigid enough to resist lateral torsional buckling during this phase. If temporary formwork could be attached

To reduce the risk of serious chemical accidents to occur there is a legislation called the Seveso-legislation. One part of this legislation demands that all business that handle certain amounts of chemical compounds to submit a safety report in order to get permission to run their business. The safety report should contain over-all plans of how to handle safety as well as detailed descriptions o

Människohandel är ett globalt fenomen som förekommer över i stort sett hela världen. Sverige är på intet sätt förskonat från denna cyniska verksamhet, utan har tvärt om visats sig utgöra en lukrativ marknad för människohandlare. Detta då det finns en efterfrågan på de tjänster som verksamheten tillhandahåller, framför allt de av sexuell karaktär. I denna framställning undersöks den svenska konstruHuman trafficking is a global phenomenon that occurs all over the world. Sweden is by no means spared from this cynical practice. On the contrary, the country has shown to be a lucrative market for traffickers. A reason for this is the major demand for the services that trafficking provides, especially those of a sexual nature. This presentation examines the legal construction of the human traffic

År 2006 valde den svenska regeringen att tillsätta en utredning för att kartlägga omfattningen av den vanvård som skett i den sociala barnavården. Utredningen bedrevs främst genom intervjuer med frivilliga, som ville berätta om vad de utsatts för i sin barndom. Över 1000 personer blev intervjuade, det stora intresset var inte väntat utan utredningen överskred sina tidsramar både en och två gånger.The Swedish government initiated an inquiry in 2006 to survey the extent of serious abuse or neglect of children in social care. The inquiry took place primarily through interviews with volunteers who wanted to share what had happened to them in their childhood. More than 1000 people were interviewed, the huge interest was not expected and the time frame for the inquiry had to be extended not once

Riksföreningen Aktiva Synskadade har en kursgård i vacker naturmiljö som jag valt att basera examenarbetet på. Syftet är att redovisa ett gestaltningsförslag som använder förutsättningarna för att skapa god hus- och utemiljö för personer med synnedsättning till att skapa god arkitektur för alla.

I Helsingborg har grannar till ett planerat boende för psykiskt funktionsnedsatta protesterat mot dess etablering. Syftet med denna studie har varit att förstå protesterna och hur grannarna har formulerat dessa. Då protesterna till stor del skedde genom skriftlig kommunikation har jag främst valt att studera mejl och insändare, men jag har även tagit med andra utryck för protesten i analysen. Då j

Stock binds capital and this should be of highest concern for companies to minimize. Therefore it is important to design their reorder points in such way that service levels are met while keeping as low capital as possible. How well do the most common dimensioning methods perform with respect to the capital in safety stock and how the parameter is set in the best-of-breed methods to meet a given s

Utvärdering av ett målprotein för behandling av ledgångsreumatism Reumatisk artrit (RA), eller ledgångsreumatism som det också kallas, är en autoimmun sjukdom som 1% av världens befolkning lider av. Kroppens egna immunceller blir autoreaktiva och attackerar lederna i främst händer och fötter. Den ökade mängden immunceller i de här lederna resulterar i svullnad och inflammation, men även ben och bRheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease resulting in swelling and destruction of bone and cartilage within the small joints. The mechanism behind the disease is not fully understood, but the interaction of autoreactive T-cells with effector cells like B-cells and macrophages through cytokine signaling is believed to be important. A potential target for drug development against arthritis that

Drug rehabilitation programs in Sweden are mostly based on voluntary partici-pation. However, the actual degree of voluntariness in these progr
